the nose.
Why does Gen. TYNER keep ava
from Dakota so assiduously? He spend
| most of his time in st. Paul and Mime
apolis and lodges the reporters. Is h
afraid of meeting Gov. CHURCH ant
having personal interview?
~
Read the list of territorial employs
who drew salaries out of the treasury
during the PIERCE administration anC
devoted a large share of their time tt
negfecting official business and boom
ing the willy GILBERT.

| Stock raising in Dakota is an impor-
tant industry. The objects and results
of the jamestown convention are fully
set forth in an editorial in this issue.
~
1t will be we'll for the politicians to
heed the voice of the Farmers alliance,
which meets at Huron in few days.
The members mean business, and there
is not likely to be any trifing. There
will be some stringent laws passed by
the next legislature.
EX-GOv. ORDwAY talks to his once
beloved constituents through the GLOBE
to-day, and the recital makes pretty in
teresting reading. There may be a
good deal of hidden meaning in the as
Sertion that he still claims his residence
in Dakota. The old man may conclude
to go on the warpath again some day,
and it is safe to say that he has his
stock of tOmahawks in good condition.
~
If anybody ever believed that eX-
Gov. ORDwAY had ony especial love for
| Gen. CAMPBELL the delusiOn will be
dlSpelled by the reading of the formers
letter in tO-day's issue. The old gov
ernor sneeringly alludes to the YanktOn
schemer as 1.-The New Orleans Militia
Brigadier General" And yet, at one
time, they were as DAMON and PYTH-
| las.
| A blast from ORDWAY two or three
! times year is not bad thing for Da
kota. 1t seems to agitate the sluggish
atmosphere of politics and stir the
minds of those who revel in the study of
the festive Renaissance.
~
The letter of Gen. BEADLE on the
Educational Advancement of Dakota"
printed in another column, will well re-
pay peruSal by every citizen in the
territory. 1t is record of which any of
the large and populous states might
well be proud. The paper should be
printed in proper shape and circulated
all over the country.

The politicians are already in the
field with their armOr on. How sad to
think that only one out of the $50 or
more aspirants for delegate honors will
get there. The undertakers should
prepare for lively business.
-
There are not as many Republicans in
Dakota to-day who favor division as
there were six weeks ago. They recog-
nize the folly of fighting longer under
the CAMPBELL banner, and are anxious
to trim their sails and get on board the
staunch ship One-State, which will be
launched at Aberdeen Dec. Is.

If President CLEVELAND doesn't say
something in his message about Dakota
there will be great deal of Wailing and
crashing of teeth. Everybody is anX-
ious to hear some expression in regard
to the matter.
Editor PIERCE has written a letter to
Gen. TYNER assuring him that the Alb
erdeen letter is all right and would
please nearly every one. Is this tatfy
or soothing syrup? Does PIERCE want
to shoulder the responsibility and take
the consequences?
~
Did not GILBERT A. PIERCE do edi-
torial work for the Pioneer Press while
drawing his salary as governor of Da-
kOta?

If any one has imbibed the notion that
Black Hills towns are deficient in the
higher culture that marks refined and
advanced people elsewhere, he may get
some corrections of his error in the let
tiers which the GLOBE correspondent is
writing from that corner of Dakota.
The advanced state of musical culture
in Rapid City, as recOunted in previ-
Gus letter, is paralleled in this number
by report of literary development in
DeadwOod. The showing really would
be creditable to much older and larger
cities. and perusal of the record must
correct any old impressions of the Black
Hills as possessing only wild and woolly
mining camps.
The Black Hills is also falling into
line in the One-state column. A strong
delegation will be sent up from there.
-
Is Editor PIERCE pulling with CAMP
BELL for division, or does he indorse
the Aberdeen convention?
A flaw has been discovered in the
DAWES Sioux reservation bill. A survey
cannot be made on the lines as enumer-
ated. The friends of the bill should
see that the defect is remedied at once.
-
Editor PIERCE is evidently sick of his |
experience in politics, and the exposure |
of his methods has made him tired and |
sick. He has branched off into the liter |
airy field. He contributed two-cOlumn
story and poem to his last Supplement. |
The story is remarkably rocky" but |
the poem is so charming and expressive
that it is here reprod uced:
There was an old fellow named SPARKS,
He went out a-gunning for larks,
But he ran it too far when he shot at La
MAR,
And now there's no business for SPARKS.
